• Meanwhile chop the whole onion; sauté onion in hot oil in nonstick skillet.
• Pit and cut up olives; wash, trim and coarsely chop tomatoes. When onion is tender add the olives and tomatoes and cook over high heat to evaporate liquid.

JAPANESE RICE WITH BLACK OLIVES AND ORANGE ZEST

Steps:

• Lightly rinse the rice. Put the rice in a small pot with 2 cups of water and let it soak for 30 minutes. Pit the black olives and cut into small pieces. Stir the rice well and place over high heat. Let it come to a boil, then stir well again and turn the heat down to the lowest possible setting. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and let simmer for 11 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, still covered, for 5 minutes more. Transfer the rice to a bowl, stir well and let cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped olives, olive oil, and orange zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Press the rice in a rice mold or shape by hand, and serve. Japanese rice is very sticky. To keep the rice from sticking to the rice mold, keep both pieces of the mold in water. Fill the mold 2/3 full with rice and press down with the top part firmly enough for the rice to stick together, but not so firmly that the rice gets mashed. Release the rice from the mold and put on a plate.

GREEK-STYLE RICE WITH SPINACH, FETA, AND BLACK OLIVES

Steps:

• Wash the spinach and tender stems until the water runs clean; drain. If leaves are large and crinkly, sprinkle lightly with salt and mix well. Let stand in a colander 15 minutes; rinse and squeeze out excess moisture. Shred the spinach to make about 3 cups.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 10-inch straight-sided skillet. Add the scallions, onions, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup water and cook, covered, over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. When the water evaporates, slowly let the onions turn golden, stirring occasionally. Add 1 cup water, the reduced tomato purée, and rice. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
• Spread the spinach and dill over the rice, cover, and cook 10 minutes longer. Remove from heat, mix, then place a double thickness of paper toweling over the rice, cover again, and let stand until cool. Adjust the seasoning with black pepper and salt and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Serve at room temperature garnished with black olives and feta cheese or yogurt.
